Description

GLOBETROTTER SUMMER CAMP - ANCIENT AMERICA - AUGUST 8 - 12, 9 A.M. - 5 P.M.

SUGGESTED FOR THOSE ENTERING CLASSES 1 THROUGH 8

 

The photo shows The Great Serpent Mound in what is now southern Ohio.  It is but one of many, many giant art works created long before "America" ever was called "America".  We will visit that time in this special week summer camp to learn how people lived and to recreate the art and architecture, the music and culture of "America" before anyone ever heard that word.

We will be assisted in our journey back in time by expert artists including Samuel Becerra (above) who makes musical instruments based on anient pictures.
